Actually caught fish, fun, calm waters - if you love fishing this is the tour for you. Miguel our guide was spectacular. he was so friendly and knowledgeable about the specifics of catching Tarpons. He guided us through the steps and we had multiple big catches! The boat was great size and the waters were calm. We had a mega catch that took team work for almost an hour to land it! It was as long as my teenager and is definitely the biggest catch we have ever had. Thank you Miguel for An experience we will never forget.

Great guide and great time - I had a great guide who took me out and put me on the fish. This was my first Tarpon and he coached me through the fight. He got pictures while moving the boat and landing the fish. Wonderful time and I will be back. Thanks Mateo for this unbelievable experience.

Amazing captain - It was a great experience, as soon as I got on I asked for a bandaid and he gave me 3. He also offered us water and gatorade. We didn’t catch much but seeing the fish and talking with our captain made it nice.

Good experience in Puerto Rico fishing. - Trip was great. Guide knew exactly where to go. We caught several good size fish, although most had to be thrown back in the water after taking a photo.

GREAT Experience would recommend - My son and I took the 7am, 4-hour trip with Gabby. He is very knowledgeable and took us to a great spot in the early morning that was secluded and during our time there we got 6-8 hits on our lines. Unfortunately, we weren't able to bring those to the boat, but the action was very exciting. After 11am (our scheduled stop time) Gabby took us to a new spot (extended time) where we set up and got a big Tarpon on right away but lost him. Gabby said we would stay the extra 30 min for the "buzzer beater" and low and behold we got barracuda, and my son was able to post a pic of a nice fish, thanks to Gabby!!
